Raise the intended attribute-inspection failure.

The fixture returns a valid ResultSet after starting the peer thread. No configured ResultSet operation throws SQLException, so migrationCompletedByPeer is not entered through this path.

The following metadata check races the peer thread. The test can execute the local ALTER, or pass without exercising the recovery path.

Throw SQLException after peer.start().

Proposed fix 
                             peer.setDaemon(true);
                             peer.start();
+                            throw new SQLException("attribute inspection failed");

around lines 282 - 294, Update the failure branch in
MysqlUserBackendSchemaExpansionTest around peerMigrationAfterAttributeFailure
and the schema-migration-peer thread to throw SQLException immediately after
peer.start(), ensuring the configured attribute-inspection failure enters the
migrationCompletedByPeer recovery path.
